Building my own lightsaber at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland!

The desire for a lightsaber faded to the background as I grew older. But it reignited this year with the opening of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. I found out that within the town of the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu, there is a place called Savi’s Workshop. At Savi’s, you don’t just buy a lightsaber, the workers there help you create your own personalized lightsaber. I had heard the experience was almost like a ceremony. Suddenly that desire from childhood was back: I had to create my own lightsaber!

Great fun. Especially if you're a Star Wars fan. But did it cost a pretty penny? Fla Dem Nov 2019 #1

Above and beyond just the cost to get into the park?

Reminds me of a T-shirt I saw someone wearing that day at Disneyland that said: Most Expensive Day Ever!

After taxes, the total was $212.00. For me, it was worth it. If you're not a lifelong Star Wars fan, I don't think so.
